Odakyu Re:value: A Year-Round Sustainability Initiative

Starting June 3, 2026, Odakyu Department Store, in collaboration with Ecoring, will implement a year-round clothing collection initiative called "Odakyu Re:value". This program aims to promote environmental consciousness and community support by collecting unwanted clothes and accessories. The collection will take place at the Odakyu Department Store in Machida, celebrating the store's 50th anniversary.

Initiative Details

The Odakyu Re:value program originally ran as a limited-time initiative from September to December 2025. Due to the overwhelming response from the community, the store decided to extend it for the entire year. By doing so, Odakyu seeks to enhance community engagement and provide a sustainable solution for clothing disposal.

Collection Period: June 3, 2026 - June 1, 2027
Collection Location: 1st floor, next to the information counter at the Odakyu Department Store, Machida
Hours: 10:15 AM to 8:00 PM on weekdays; 10:15 AM to 7:30 PM on Sundays and holidays.

Accepted Items

The program encourages contributions of unwanted clothing from women, men, and children, including:

• - Clothes (including kimonos and yukatas)
• - Accessories (scarves, ties, bags)
• - Other clothing items (belts, watches, etc.)

Please note that items such as underwear, socks, gym uniforms, handmade goods, and anything stained or damaged will not be accepted. Each participant can donate up to three items per day.

Incentives for Participants

In exchange for their contributions, participants will receive a shopping coupon worth 300 yen, valid for purchases at designated departments within the store. These coupons can be redeemed from June 3, 2026, until June 30, 2027, and can provide savings on purchases over 3,000 yen (tax included).

The Impact of Odakyu Re:value

The collected items will be redistributed through Ecoring or reused in other meaningful ways. The generated revenue from these efforts will be donated to support initiatives that benefit the youth of Machida. The aim is to foster a sense of community while creating a circular economy of resources within the region.

Corporate Sponsorship

To ensure the success and sustainability of this initiative, Odakyu Department Store has garnered sponsorship from various companies and organizations that align with its vision of social responsibility.
